Re: Suddenly Soaking - not mites
Better than pictures: Video!

The enclosure is rated for ~388gal, About 7 feet long, 3.5 ft high, 2.75 ft deep. Got it for a STEAL. $200 for the tank, stand (that weighs at least 200lbs alone) and a brand-new filter. Could NOT say no. I hope to build a saltwater reef aquarium some day -- but must re-enforce the floor first. The weight of the water (8.5lbsx380 - just over 1.5 tons!) will crush the flooring. Oh, plus the bagillion dollars to start the ecosystem. And about $5,000 in fish that are just going to die suddenly one morning.
There is about 200lbs of cypress (I know, not ecologically sound) for the bedding, about 6 inches deep. Moisture is a major issue for us, I needed something that would really hold in the humidity.
On the left side is the "hot" side, where Tai Ping is currently soaking. Right now there is a 150w basking lamp on 24x7 (We drop it to 100w in the summer, it's much warmer in here then). As we pan to the right you can see her 'pool'. This is a recent addition, but she doesn't seem to like the movement in the water. There is a filtered waterfall with a ultrasonic vaporizer. The vaporizer maintains humidity and turns on and off automatically. The pool looks MUCH cooler with a layer of mist on top. 
Near the pool is a 250w ceramic heater (150w in summer) for maintaining the overall temperature of the environment. This is also attached to a thermostat for worry-free operation. It usually cycles on for 10-15 minutes every 4 hours during the day.
While this setup is a COMPLETE WASTE OF SPACE about 85% of the time, it is really awesome to watch her lay across the branches, one of them is only about 0.5inches wide yet Tai Ping will be perfectly balanced for hours. Or "the hunt". She started eating A LOT more when she was transferred into this home, from a 55gal. Shockingly, she was not stressed AT ALL in this new tank, ate the day after she was introduced to it.
Ummm... The corner water dish, hides and waterfall are the largest ones I could find.
Cleaning is a chore. Before adding a rat we hold it by it's tail for a minute to help "empty" the rat of urine to try to keep the contamination low, so we typically only do a complete clean out twice a year. We do spot cleaning as needed (Skin, poop, etc) by scooping the skin and a large handful of surrounding bedding. The major cleaning involves removing EVERYTHING, washing it all, scrubbing the glass (Really hard to do, will usually just climb in the enclosure), and removing an entire top layer of bedding. Usually takes about 5 hours for two of us to do. Tai Ping will spend the entire time in the backup 55gal trying to get out, she likes her space now. 
It look about 3 months to get this monster tank to regulate correctly, we really battled with humidity but heat was a problem as well. The glass and bedding is too thick for UTH. Took a lot of trial and error to get the heat sources located just right to give a nice airflow without venting too much hot/moist air out.....ummm. I can't think of anything else to tell you about her house.
